[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 2989116, member: 718"] It might well be him. There is no rule whatsoever that says that nothing but cattle can be carried in a cattle trailer. Tell them that you'll see them in Court. Unfortunately your overhang might well have been over the limit, although unlikely on the face of it, but I would have thought that a fixed penalty notice would have been appropriate, if not just a warning. However, Westbury is undoubtedly the biggest plonker in the Welsh police force and probably near the top for the whole of the UK. He's notorious not only with the public, and farmers in particular, but within the police force nationwide. In one case he stopped a catering trailer on a Sunday and decided that one of its tyres was worn. Sprayed it with yellow paint and put a stop notice on it in the lay by until rectified. Luckily the lone lady driver knew a local, to her, tyre fitter that came out to it. It was dark and late by then. The qualified tyre fitter/business owner, looked at the tyre and couldn't find a single thing wrong with it apart from yellow paint. Westbury was just as bloody-minded as usual and made stuff up to suit his power-crazed agenda. In this case a complaint was made to the Chief Constable and subsequently a letter of apology was obtained along with the implied 'Oh no, not Westbury AGAIN!' I suggest that if the overhang is legal, that this goes the same route. An official complaint to the Chief Constable. [/QUOTE]
